fpdf2 - Presentation Mode (original) (raw)

Presentations¶

Presentation mode can usually be enabled with the CTRL + L shortcut.

As of june 2021, the features described below are honored by Adobe Acrobat reader, but ignored by Sumatra PDF reader.

Page display duration¶

Pages can be associated with a "display duration" until when the viewer application automatically advances to the next page:

`from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = fpdf.FPDF() pdf.set_font("Helvetica", size=120) pdf.add_page(duration=3) pdf.cell(text="Page 1") pdf.page_duration = .5 pdf.add_page() pdf.cell(text="Page 2") pdf.add_page() pdf.cell(text="Page 3") pdf.output("presentation.pdf") `

It can also be configured globally through the page_duration FPDF property.

Transitions¶

Pages can be associated with visual transitions to use when moving from another page to the given page during a presentation:

`from fpdf import FPDF from fpdf.transitions import *

pdf = fpdf.FPDF() pdf.set_font("Helvetica", size=120) pdf.add_page() pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 0") pdf.add_page(transition=SplitTransition("V", "O")) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 1") pdf.add_page(transition=BlindsTransition("H")) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 2") pdf.add_page(transition=BoxTransition("I")) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 3") pdf.add_page(transition=WipeTransition(90)) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 4") pdf.add_page(transition=DissolveTransition()) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 5") pdf.add_page(transition=GlitterTransition(315)) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 6") pdf.add_page(transition=FlyTransition("H")) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 7") pdf.add_page(transition=PushTransition(270)) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 8") pdf.add_page(transition=CoverTransition(270)) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 9") pdf.add_page(transition=UncoverTransition(270)) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 10") pdf.add_page(transition=FadeTransition()) pdf.text(x=40, y=150, text="Page 11") pdf.output("transitions.pdf") `

It can also be configured globally through the page_transition FPDF property.
